Well, I'm already bored. Have been for a week. There's nothing that separates you from someone who has cerebral palsy wheelchair bound for life. There's no leaderboard for anything, PvP/Arena doesn't exist (soonTM, lol), and the only point of playing the game at this point is to increase your damage or get more gold, so that you have an easier time farming more gold. If you'd like to defend that point by the fact that you can make real money off the game soonTM (Delayed 3 times now), I can tell you that it will be mediocre money and nothing will sell unless it's the best of the best and it'll be pennies for the time it took to obtain that item. You'd make more money for the time invested by selling arena rating. You can't piss anybody off, you keep pressing resume game and farming a treasure goblin or the cow level, to keep getting more coin, or more gear, to repeat that cycle over and over. Gold is going down the tube by the day, it's down to $15/mill, by the 12th it'll be down to $10-12/mill, and below $10/mill by the 22nd, and will only continue to decline as time goes on. Hardcore gold is the only thing worth anything currently at $70/mill, but Blizzard has the money AH disabled for Hardcore mode. There's absolutely no point in playing the game currently, stock up $5+ million, log off, reinstall in 6 months and buy the almost best gear which will be priced at 5% of what the best gear is priced at.

So as a competitive guy, CS1.6(Cal-M)->WoW(2900)->SC2(trolling masters)->D3(lol i has gold hehehe), where the hell do I go from here? Guess I'm back to SC2?

I had 15+ people on my friends list who started playing it when it came out, only 2 regularly log in. It's not addicting at all, there's nothing to really look forward to. No pvp, no arena,no leveling ladder. It's just a super casual game.

i remember diablo 2 and was funny but more than 10 years back. diablo 3 is a fail. Is just a temporary break from wow. Nothing interesting, no pvp at serious levels at all. In about 1 year with mop release it will be empty. nuff said

Its as good as a hack and slash game could ever be. But its very repetitive the challenge is very cheesy. Blizzard just nerfed a ton of exploits which means if you have not been using them you are now far behind everyone else who had.

Are you implying that the prior games in the series required skill? Because they absolutely did not.

The Diablo series has never been about stroking e-peen via player skill. Rather, e-peen stroking is done through spending lots of time on the game. Time invested will always increase your epeen status in the game. This is as opposed to truly skill-oriented games such as Starcraft or CS. Sure, you can invest a bunch of time in the latter games, but eventually most players hit a "skill-ceiling" and reach the maximum ability of their potential, or their "skill" return for time investment decreases at an exponential rate, regardless of the amount of time invested.

You obviously bought the wrong game. May I direct you to GW2? It's fun and will be competitive, and since you seem to have enjoyed WoW pvp, it seems like the most natural transition / game for you to pick up.

P.S. I agree Diablo 3 is boring as shit and I'm never buying another Blizzard game ever. I'll be good for the next few years with GW2 and Dota 2... fuck you Blizzard.

At least in D2 there was a pve ladder. Not amazing but you had some fame. Don't forget pvp, good pkers could join a diablo run and wipe a group of shitty ladder players. There were always pvp communitys, like pvp-east/wesuck! on east and gimmeitam on west. They held tournaments and regular 4v4 private games daily.

That's how the game was when I played anyway "launch until 2003". Shit was fun times.

Still like D3, for now. gues it's because i cant play during the week, but every time i get back to my PC the first thing i do is log on D3 to check auctions and play a bit. The social aspect is quite nice as well (imo)

After ~100hours played i only have 1 max char meaning i could still level up 4 more + hardcore - should keep me entertained for quite a while.

On the subject of it being to easy, i gues it is after you reach a certain gear level - but before that, i don't think it is that easy, from DH perspective at least - if you dont dodge everything / kite perfectly you die. In the end you will kill the champion pack though i gues

Cash Shop ruined BLC. Played for a days and still didn't have enough currency to unlock a champion.

There's a starter quest to unlock one of the original 16. Though they helped ALOT over the year to help make it easier for a new player to enjoy the game F2P *added the starter quest that started with 8 then doubled to the original 16, changed from 4 free to play bloodlines per week that everyone had the same rotation... to 8 free to play bloodlines daily that were randomized for each player if I remember correctly.
